There are currently no causal treatments. Using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), we have previously demonstrated that the temporoparietal cortex is critically involved in tinnitus perception and that tinnitus can be reduced by rTMS applied to these cortical regions. Therefore, it is reasonable...
